good morning, america. breaking overnight, severe storms from colorado to massachusetts. and in the west, flash floods and mudslides shutting down highways. so ferocious, this reporter losing all control of his car. a big day ahead in the trial of george zimmerman. closing arguments start this morning. the defense resting after a tense and dramatic day of testimony, where even a dummy was pummeled to make a point. and zimmerman revealing he will not take the stand. caught on tape. the heart-stopping moment as a man lost control of his electric wheelchair, falling face-first on to the train tracks. why he fell and the hero that rescued him with seconds to spare. too sexy for the summer? does robin thicke's megahit go too far? he speaks out, defending himself, and his song, revealing

for the first time what "blurred lines" is really all about. and good morning, america. so much to get to this morning, including those new 911 emergency calls. they are from witnesses on and off the jumbo jet that crashed in san francisco. >> and the flight attendants who are speaking out about how they were told to wait before evacuating that plane. >> a minute and a half. but now, we're going to get right to sam tracking all of the severe weather. and the mudslides out west are scary. >> remember when tranquil summer days were the norm? now, every afternoon, you have to dodge the thunderstorms, the fires, the mudslides. there were reports of tornadoes in a lot of places yesterday. one of them kind of in philadelphia. this is taken from outside of the pittsburgh area. other ones in connecticut, as well. and take a look at how much of the country was covered in the storm reports.

each one of those dots represents a report of severe weather. there were 464 reports of strong storms there. it looks like it was a busy day on the map. but wait until you see the pictures. severe weather swept through nearly one-third of the u.s. yesterday, from colorado to massachusetts, with possible tornadoes moving through pennsylvania and connecticut. >> i looked out. and i could see the debris from the barn itself. and you could hear all the wood being splintered. >> reporter: more than 450 reports of powerful storms. and 86-mile-an-hour wind report in indiana and ohio, damaging homes and businesses. also reports of three inches of rain an hour, bringing flooding throughout michigan and pennsylvania. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. >> reporter: and in colorado, flash floods and a massive and dangerous highway mudslide. near colorado springs. sweeping dozens of cars right off the road. >> my car just got swept off

highway 24. >> my car smashed, dodge off the cliff. >> reporter: take a look at this video shot by a driver in the middle of the chaos. the muddy runoff, 2 1/2-feet deep. shutting down the highway for hours. not as much in the way of severe weather during the day today. but there will be soaking rains and i think maybe a weekend full of it, depending on what happens with the remnants of chantal, causing more rain into the southeast. but take a look at today, where we're looking at the heavier rain. two to three inches of rain expected. that's south jersey, all the way up toward the new york city area. boston, one to two zone. raleigh, two to three inches of rain. but the southeastern corridor getting at least one to two inches of rain. that's another day of tough travel to get through. >> the airports have been log jammed. thanks so much. we appreciate it, sam. now, to the trial of george zimmerman. another dramatic day in court, with the judge talking directly

to zimmerman before the defense rested. the case could be in the hands of the jury as early as tomorrow. abc's matt gutman is in sanford, florida, with the very latest. matt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. that's right. closing arguments today and likely jury deliberations tomorrow. that dramatic moment in court yesterday. the judge demanding to know whether or not george zimmerman would testify on his own behalf. and in declining, it was the most we have heard from him during the trial. it all comes down to this -- >> the defense would rest. >> reporter: with testimony now over, jurors will begin hearing closing arguments later today. the final moments in court wednesday, again heated. judge deborah nelson asking george zimmerman again and again, whether he would take the stand in his own defense. >> have you made a decision as to whether or not you want to testify in this case? >> i object to that question. i that's -- >> your objection is overruled. >> reporter: finally, zimmerman answered. >> after consulting with

counsel, i've decided not to testify, your honor. >> reporter: those words, the most the 29-year-old has spoken during his second-degree murder trial. zimmerman, who killed trayvon martin in february of 2012, pleading not guilty, saying he fired in self-defense, after martin pinned him to the ground. >> this is the area of the belly button. >> reporter: on wednesday, jurors got to see prosecutors challenge the defense's version of that scuffle. prosecutor john guy climbing atop a full mannequin, while cross-examining law enforcement trainer. >> were you aware that the defendant described to his best friend, that when the defendant slid down, that trayvon martin was up around his armpits. >> reporter: jurors, and even defense attorneys, craning their necks. some even standing up to see the demonstration. >> where would the gun be now? >> now, the gun would be behind your left leg. >> reporter: defense attorney mark o'mara even asked to borrow the dummy on redirect. >> were the injuries consistent

with somebody doing this? >> i don't think so. >> how about this? how about somebody resisting the attempt? >> reporter: now, by tomorrow night, george zimmerman could know whether he faces life in prison or freedom. we're told he's preparing for both, spending a lot of time with his family. now, even if he's convicted on a lesser charge, like aggravated assault, we're told that he will be escorted directly from that courthouse to the jail. amy? >> matt gutman, thanks so much. let's bring in abc's chief legal affairs anchor, dan abrams. and, dan, you have been very outspoken of fact that you don't think zimmerman will be charged on murder charges. are we talking about manslaughter? aggravated assault? >> i think the aggravated assault is absolutely crucial. i think there's almost no question that the jury will hear the possibility of manslaughter. but if they hear the possibility of aggravated assault, the reason that's going to make the defense nervous, is because it provides the jury with a compromise. and, "b," under florida law, he

could actually end up serving more time for aggravated assault, with the use of a firearm, because he had a firearm with him, than would be the case with simply manslaughter. so, a lot of reasons for the defense to be very nervous about that aggravated assault lesser included offense. >> so much at stake for both sides here. and we've seen unbelievable theatrics, dramatics from the judge, from the prosecutor, from the defense attorneys, as well. what do we think we're going to see in closing arguments today? >> well, certainly, tensions have been boiling over inside that courtroom. and you saw that in particular yesterday, between the judge and one of the defense attorneys. but i think everyone's going to pull back from that once the closing arguments start. the closing arguments are so crucial for both sides, that you're going to see, i think, the prosecutor focusing on the human aspect. this didn't need to happen. and the defense focusing on the law, on reasonable doubt. i think those are going to be the two key things to look for. >> dan abrams, all eyes on florida today. we appreciate it. george? we'll get the latest on that deadly plane crash in san francisco.

we're learning much more from the pilots and crew about those terrifying moments just before and now right after the crash. abc's david kerley is tracking the investigation. good morning, david. >> reporter: george, so many amazing stories of bravery and survival. but also some striking details about what the cockpit crew did. and now, the 911 calls. >> there are people waiting on the tarmac with critical injuries. head injuries. we're almost losing a woman here. >> reporter: the ntsb says after hitting the seawall, losing its tail and spinning around at 100 miles an hour before coming to rest, the pilots told passengers to stay in their seats. no evacuation for a minute and a half. >> the flight crew told the flight attendants not to initiate an evacuation. they were communicating with the tower about the emergency. >> reporter: a flight attendant who spotted fire, finally convinced the pilots to evacuate the plane. >> i don't think they really understood how little of their airplane had arrived with them. >> reporter: but only half of the 12 flight attendants were available. three who were sitting at the

rear of the plane had already been ejected from the 777. >> they need immediate attention. they're alive and walking around. >> reporter: and this morning, we're learning more about the final seconds in the air, too, from the ntsb. the captain being trained on how to land, told investigators just seconds before landing, a flash of light temporarily blinded him. was it a laser? the ntsb says it doesn't know. but in the last 2 1/2 minutes of flight, they selected auto pilot modes for direction and power. it appears the pilot thought the engines were in cruise control mode, but may not have been, leaving the plane without enough momentum to get to the runway. now, what about pilot fatigue? well, both of these pilots were off the day before. they slept eight hours the night before. they did take off and flew for a few hours. and then had five hours off of rest, before they returned to the cockpit for the last hour and a half of flight. so, it doesn't appear that fatigue was an issue, george. it comes back to this mode of autopilot, which mode they actually picked. and they may have picked one that did not give them the cruise control and they may have expected it.

>> okay, david, thanks very much. let's get more from stephen ganyard. what about these modes on cruise control? >> they selected a lot of different modes in the last 2 1/2 minutes. what this would suggest is that either they were conflicting, that they were working over each other, or that maybe they didn't know exactly how to use the modes. remember how new the pilot was in the left seat. and it was a totally different airplane. he switched from an airbus airplane to a boeing airplane. everything is mechanized differently. the software's different. so, maybe there was a question in his mind of what he was selecting. >> we're also hearing about a flash of light that one of the pilots they have seen about 500 feet. >> this one is a bit tough to swallow. this may come under the subject of the dog ate his homework. i can't imagine what would have gotten into the cockpit and seen by only one person. if it did happen, why didn't he say something to his fellow pilots? why didn't he turn over the controls to his fellow pilots?

>> that doesn't make sense, even though we have heard reports in the past about people flashing lasers at planes. and then, finally, this was a surprise, as well. the pilots, keeping everyone -- preventing them from evacuating for a full minute and a half after hitting the ground. >> yes. the pilots have to be the ones who say it's time to evacuate because they need to assess the situation and say, there's fire, there's no fire. go out the left side, go out the right side. but in this case, it was hard to understand why it was 90 seconds. thanks goodness one of the stewardess pulled the slide. when an aircraft is certified the faa does a test, where they put everyone in a cabin and they say ready, set, go, and they have 90 seconds to get everybody out of that airplane. or they say this airplane is not safe. and they have to do it over and over again until they can do it in 90 seconds. in this case, they waited 90 seconds and then they started the evacuation. thank goodness that fire was very slow in starting and people

had time to get out of the airplane. >> a lot of luck there at the end. okay, stephen, thanks very much. now, to the boston bombing suspect, appearing in a packed courtroom for the first time wednesday, coming face-to-face with many of the victims and their families, showing no remorse. abc's senior justice correspondent pierre thomas was there. he joins us this morning. pierre? >> reporter: good morning, amy. that's right. it was the bombing suspect's demeanor in court that left many victims livid. dzhokhar tsaranev, walked into court surrounded by guards and dressed in an orange jump suit. the left side of his face swollen. and his arm bandaged. he politely pleaded not guilty to 30 charges, accused of killing and wounding 260 at the boston marathon. by planting two bombs at the boston marathon. he was remarkably composed for a man potentially facing the death penalty. some even thought he appeared to grin. what struck you about his demeanor? >> that he was smirking. i don't know.

just -- you know, he just had the audacity to smirk. that's how i took it. >> reporter: each of liz norden's two sons lost a leg in the horrific blast. they can be seen here in the photograph with the man police say is dzhokhar. but tsaranev did have some support. his two sisters sat in the courtroom, weeping as the hearing ended, and as they left the courthouse. tears that angered many victims. >> i wanted her to come to my house and see what my sons go through day in and day out. >> reporter: 20 m.i.t. police officers stood in formation. they were there to honor sean collier, who was allegedly shot and killed by the bombers on the night they tried to flee boston. >> i didn't see the remorse. i didn't see the nervousness or the fear. i didn't see any of that. >> reporter: that demeanor offended some victims here. some who now say they would rather see tsaranev to face the rest of his life in jail. others want the death penalty.

they want this young man to face that. >> that's a tough day in court for all involved. let's head to abc's paula faris. she's in for josh with the other top stories developing at this hour. >> good morning. we do begin with a major development overnight in the colorado movie theater shooting case. for the first time, lawyers for accused gunman james holmes are admitting their client killed 12 people inside that theater in aurora last july. but they claim he was, quote, in the throes of a psychotic episode. holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty at his trial next year. and 50 people now presumed dead after that runaway train disaster in quebec, canada, over the weekend. now, only 20 bodies have been recovered. the head of the rail company says the engineer failed to set the train's brakes properly. and a setback for country singer randy travis. he's been forced to undergo emergency surgery to relieve pressure on his brain after suffering a stroke. the 54-year-old has been in the

not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®,

and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. ♪ [ male announcer ] bring your personal style to life, get 20% off all hunter ceiling fans at lowe's. ♪ get 20% off all hunter ceiling fans at lowe's. i dbefore i dosearch any projects on my home. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust.

>> pulled pork sandwich, posted on white bread, just the way i love it, with extra spicy sauce, from starnes. we call it america's heartland. home to river boats and bluegrass. paducah, kentucky, is my hometown. little has changed since i left. including the town's hot spot for barbecue, starnes. it's still in the same building. and it's my favorite. >> it's real quaint. >> reporter: a family-run business since 1955. third generation ken starnes now runs the shop with his wife and daughter, sticking to the same original recipe grandpa floyd developed in the '50s. the secret, tim says, is all in the sauce. >> it's a secret. we don't reveal that.

>> reporter: the pulled park sandwich is my favorite. it starts with park shoulder. it smokes for 12 hours. then, pulled from the bone. piled high on white bread and brushed in that secret sauce. then, toasted, flat on a grill. finally, wrapped in wax paper, just like i remember it. and people come from miles to enjoy it. >> it's good enough for me to drive three hours to get a sandwich. so, that's pretty good. >> all right. >> thank you, sam. that is good. >> so good. >> so good. >> the bread is amazing. >> i've never seen them on bread before. >> when i was a kid, we would pile in the car. and i would say, go to starnes and get this barbecue. family owned and operated. one thing you have to have is an r.c. cola. >> and robin, i know you're

looking at the r.c. cola. i think it's better than anything on the market. >> in a bottle. >> the other thing for dessert, we would get orange or grape and my grandmother would put ice treatme cream in the top of it. >> you have to love the south. >> that's why i was a happy, little chubby kid in the south. we want you to be a part of our month-long celebration about what you love in america. send us your favorite summer hot spots for places you like to go. head to our website, goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! we're going to share in the next coming weeks, the things that you love about america. the things that we particularly love. >> this hot sauce is phenomenal. >> they are not on twitter. they're not on facebook. you cannot get this, guys. >> you have to go to paducah. >> or know sam. >> i might be able to share one or two. let's get to the boards.

this is what we've got to show you. from pittsburgh, where you have the dark clouds. make sure you're paying attention. even in great falls, montana, that's the way the skies were looking there. a quick look at the heat. it's just about everywhere. oklahoma -- you're not taking my sandwich. what are you doing? i just put you on tv and you're taking my sandwich? take a look at the big board. you are not. we're fighting. we're fighting right now. that's the weather around the nation, good morning off to a great start. 75 inland north, south bay 89 in east bay. around the bay mid-60s to mid-70s with >> that's good. >> all of that weather was brought to you by the university of phoenix. well, i don't think i'm going to be eating this before a

wedding story, right? >> we have the whole workout for weddings. now, you're on wedding beat, linsey. one of the hottest trends when it comes to weddings -- i'm acting like this is my microphone. >> i can't notice that. >> i'm sorry. we're talking about multiple ceremonies. more and more couples are deciding to tie the knot, not just two or three times, to the same person. linsey with more on this story. >> reporter: they will be saying i do, i do, i still do. whether it's to accommodate religions or ceremony styles. increasing number of couples are saying more than one set of i do. for nearly-weds, planning for their one, big day, it's difficult enough from picking the perfect dress, to finding a venue to balancing a budget. imagine planning for three. >> this is the dress that i wore

to the catholic ceremony. >> reporter: this woman needed four wedding dresses for three, different wedding ceremonies at three different venues. two in california. and one in new jersey. >> we're doing three wedding dresses? >> we are. >> reporter: with a dress budget of $15,000, she said yes to three of the four dresses on tlc's show "say yes to the dress." >> are you saying yes to dress number one? >> yes. >> are you saying yes to dress number two? >> yes. >> are you saying yes to dress number three? >> yes. >> reporter: and as it turns out, ringing in your marriage more than once is a growing phenomenon. >> often times, families with very different ideas of what a wedding should look like, a couple has to decide should i do it my way or do another wedding? >> reporter: chris popped the question last march. but they quickly learned weddings aren't just about what the bride and groom want. >> i never thought it was going to be three ceremonies. but because of all the different

wants of people, it ended up just naturally occurring like that. >> reporter: were you overwhelmed of the idea of three weddings? >> oh, yeah. i just went with it. >> reporter: with different cultural and religious backgrounds, their east meets west tri wedding included a traditional hindu ceremony, a church wedding and an intimate wedding at a vineyard. for a lot of bride and grooms, doubling or tripling the planning can mean double or triple the headache. >> there's a lot of pressure. you have to have the ability to handle stress. >> reporter: something to consider for those thinking about making multiple trips down the aisle. >> if you have more than one wedding, no matter how you slice and dice it, you're going to end up spending more money. you're going to want to budget for that. >> reporter: as for chris and monisha, they managed to tie the knot three time, while staying

in their one budget. some would say having three weddings is a bit much. >> it's an extravagant thing to do. but it was done to make everybody in our family happy. and we accomplished that. >> reporter: giving a whole new meaning to three times is a charm. more than 50% of all -- so, having multiple weddings, especially to accommodate different cultural backgrounds is a trend likely to continue. but just one is exhausting and expensive. >> those with means can if they like. but that's a lot of celebrations. we appreciate it, linsey. coming up next, salma hayek is here, live. >> hey.

there they are last night, all the guys from "grown ups 2." shaq, adam sandler, on yesterday. so much fun. now, it's great to welcome salma hayek, now to times square. great to have you here. >> thank you. >> you play a glamorous fashion designer that moves with adam back to his hometown. want to show a bit of it. >> we moved back to your hometown so we could have more quality time with our family, right? >> correct. >> how would you feel about expanding. >> having another kid? >> yeah. >> oh, it's perfect right now.

you know? if i buy one large pizza, greg gets two pieces, greg gets two. becky gets one, you get one, i get four. it's perfect. >> why don't you go on a diet. >> welcome back. you know, we had so much fun with all of the guys here yesterday. that must have been a great time on set. >> oh, yes, it was. it was three years ago. and it was again. you know, this last summer. it's like a great way to spend the summer. >> i'll bet. >> your friends. with all of your family. you still get paid for it. >> you said yes right away? >> yes. without reading the script. >> no kidding. >> we did. the script, you know it doesn't matter. when you get there, everybody -- >> i heard you had a little conflict with adam when he tried to set his mom up? >> oh,y e. you know, he's the nicest guy on earth. and i never -- i never saw him

really angry or you know, he's always joking. >> easy going. >> and the other day, we were sitting together and he was, like, you know, with his face. and then, i said, judy, to his mother. you know what? i'd like to set you up with someone because you know, her husband passed away a long time ago. and she's so spunky. i wanted to get her a boyfriend. and i said, i'd like to set you up with someone. and he was like -- what? >> don't mess with mom. >> don't mess with my mother. oh, my goodness. i got to see a whole other side of adam. >> very protective guy. >> we are still getting to know each other. and judy says, oh, no, please. >> didn't do it anyway. >> yeah. >> this movie, mostly laughs. but it does have a little bit of a message here on the whole issue of bullying. and i was very surprised to learn that you actually had your share as a kid. >> yes. when i was a little girl, there

was this new boy called alfredo. >> alfredo. >> who was taller than me and probably older than me. he used to hit me, pull my hair, do all kinds of things to me. >> a crash on you? >> he would be arrested for domestic violence by now. this is not the way to show your love. boys, you like the girls, do not beat on them. this is not good. and men, if you love your wife, don't beat on them, either. >> this message coming straight -- >> yes. >> how did you get away from him? >> i used to walk like a duck. my feet were like this. i had to wear those horrible boots. >> oh, gosh, yeah. >> and i still walk like a duck. only one foot. but anyway, and i told the teacher. she didn't do anything. my mom went and talked to them. they didn't do anything. he was pulling my hair and shaking me and doing kinds of

things. and he was so much bigger. one day, when he came to attack me, i just looked at him. and i played it all nice. and i took my boot and i kicked him right here. a parent told me where. but i'm not supposed to say. parents, we're not supposed to tell their kids that. but actually, my mother told me, get him in the shin. >> alfredo, you learned your lesson, pal. >> he stopped. the boot didn't work for my feet. but they worked as a weapon. >> one more lesson from salma hayek. i wish we had more time. unfortunately, we do not. the movie is fantastic. great to have you back. >> thank you so much. coming up, five quick fixes to get your body ready for the
